story
The works are created from the material, and even the sketches are made in clay.
These are works that invite the viewer to examine the object, its shape, and the imperfections of its surface, which reflect the character of the material. When working with clay, the key is interaction, not impact.
It's important that each vessel has a pulse, a heartbeat.
I'm passionate about wood-fired and soda-fired ceramics. Ceramics is a source of constant curiosity: how an object is made, how it feels, its shape, color, texture, and how it exists in space.
To achieve a multi-layered, rough surface, I use ropes or pieces of clay as the vessel material, and then incorporate different types of clay, pigments, sea sand, glass, engobes, and glazes.
During the firing process, the materials undergo chemical reactions, introducing an element of chance, forcing one to accept the result.
